What effect does varicocele have on the testicles?

When a man has a problem, he may notice a swollen scrotum, testicles that are not at the same level, or even red, swollen or shrunken. Once these symptoms are found, the lesions of the spermatic vein are already very serious.

Testicular effects

Once you have varicocele, the temperature of the testicles will rise. Because the testicles lack good venous return, the testicular temperature will rise to a certain extent. However, the occurrence and growth of sperm require some specific environment, so they are not adapted to this temperature rise, and sperm production is hindered. When the varicocele is varicocele, the blood return of the testicular vein is blocked and stagnated, which affects the blood circulation in the testicles, causing CO2 accumulation in the blood, thereby interfering with the normal metabolism of the testicles and affecting sperm production.

Varicose vein

On the other hand, varicocele can also cause some kidney discomfort. Metabolites of the adrenal glands, such as cortisol, catecholamines, and 5-hydroxytryptamine, may flow back into the spermatic vein and have toxic effects on the spermatogenic epithelium of the testicles. Inhibit the endocrine function of the testicles. Varicose veins can damage the interstitial cells of the testicles, affect the secretion of testosterone, and thus affect spermatogenesis.
